Image display controller with processing data protection

Abstract

A method for displaying image pixel data includes measuring display device characteristics from a display device, processing the display device characteristics, encoding the processed display device characteristics to generate encoded data, storing the encoded data in the memory, decoding the encoded data stored in a memory to generate decoded data, modifying pixel data according to the decoded data to generate the image pixel data and displaying the image pixel data on the display device.

 decoding encoded data stored in a memory to generate decoded data; and    modifying pixel data according to the decoded data to generate the image pixel data;    wherein the encoded data was gathered according to display panel characteristics.    
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1  further comprising displaying the image pixel data on the display device.  
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1  further comprising converting raw picture data to generate the pixel data.  
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 3  further comprising receiving the raw picture data.  
     
     
         5 . An image display unit comprising: 
 a decoder for decoding encoded data to generate decoded data; and    an image pixel data generator for modifying pixel data according to the decoded data to generate image pixel data.    
     
     
         6 . The image display unit of  claim 5  further comprising a memory connected to the decoder for storing the encoded data.  
     
     
         7 . The image display unit of  claim 6  wherein the memory is embedded in a system controller.  
     
     
         8 . The image display unit of  claim 5  further comprising a converter for converting raw picture data into the pixel data.  
     
     
         9 . The image display unit of  claim 8  further comprising an input interface for receiving the raw picture data.  
     
     
         10 . The image display unit of  claim 5  further comprising a display device coupled to the image pixel data generator for displaying the image pixel data.  
     
     
         11 . An image display unit comprising: 
 a modified picture data generator for modifying pixel data according to encoded data to generate modified picture data; and    a decoder for decoding the modified picture data to generate image pixel data.    
     
     
         12 . The image display unit of  claim 11  further comprising a memory for storing the encoded data.  
     
     
         13 . The image display unit of  claim 12  wherein the memory is embedded in a system controller.  
     
     
         14 . The image display unit of  claim 11  further comprising a converter for converting raw picture data into the pixel data.  
     
     
         15 . The image display unit of  claim 14  further comprising an input interface for receiving the raw picture data.  
     
     
         16 . The image display unit of  claim 15  further comprising a display device coupled to the decoder for displaying the image pixel data.  
     
     
         17 . A method for displaying image pixel data on a display panel comprising: 
 modifying pixel data according to encoded data stored in a memory to generate modified picture data; and    decoding the modified picture data to generate the image pixel data;    wherein the encoded data was gathered according to display panel characteristics.    
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 17  further comprising displaying the image pixel data on the display device.  
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 17  further comprising converting raw picture data to generate the pixel data.  
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 19  further comprising receiving the raw picture data.
